I had been meaing to start a thread about Game Crazy and what others had experienced.
For the record there is a Gamecrazy in Arlington Mass. Thats about 30-40 miles from Weymouth. So no more excuses Wafle.
They used to have a fairly good selection of classic stuff but it seems like they have gotten rid of most of it. Apsro is right in that most the genesis, SNES stuff is crumby sports titles. Their used prices tend to be a bit better than Gamestop/EB.
The first time I ever went there I picked up Growlanser Generations that they had new in the box. Then about 1-1/2 years ago they had a huge clearance. I picked up a bunch of good PS2 RPG's for about $10-$20. I got Shining Tears, Stella Deus, and Shin Megami Tensei:Nocturne. That was the last time they had anything relevant.
The employees are super inept and not really helpful at all. They are always playing games even when there are customers roaming roaming around the store. They will ask you if you need help, but then immediately go back to playing. They never know about sales promotions and never really update the pricing on the games. The very last time I was there they tried to get me to sign up for their MVP card. It's their version of the EB edge card. It comes with a magazine subscription so I chose the Official Playstation Magazine with the demo disc. After I got signed up the kid told me that OPM wasn't available anymore even though they had a huge sign with the available magazines. I chose not to sign up since I couldn't get the magazine and he got upset with me.
The biggest positive for Gamecrazy is they usually have Old stock that is hard to find at other stores. They have brand new copies of Disgaea 1 and as I mentioned before that had Growlancer when everyone had been sold out for a long time. So if you're looking for something obscure you may be able to find it there. Just don't expect to be treated to kindly.
